Beginning of autumn is one of the 24 solar terms, and autumn means that it gets cold in summer. As long as beginning of autumn is in the north of China, it can be clearly felt that the weather is getting colder, and even the blowing wind has no heat. This is the answer to the sentence "It is cool and breezy in beginning of autumn". In fact, I like this time of year best, the temperature is suitable, and the harvest of cereals and melons is very gratifying. In addition, the autumn diet can also be supplemented appropriately. Only when the body is well nursed can it lay the foundation for resisting the cold winter!

Chinese medicine believes that the human body needs sufficient qi and blood to ensure the foundation. Usually, we often say that women should replenish blood and qi, but in fact, any group of people should supplement it. Millet is a common miscellaneous grain in our daily life, which is mostly used for cooking porridge. Millet has high nutritional value, contains protein, fat, vitamins and trace elements, and has the functions of nourishing yin and blood, invigorating spleen and nourishing stomach, and is easy to digest and absorb, and is suitable for all ages. When porridge is cooked with millet, it is supplemented with Chinese yam, lily, red dates, brown sugar and other ingredients, which doubles the nutrition and is especially suitable for autumn tonic. Now that we have just passed beginning of autumn, we still have a lot of time, so do it for our family!

Production steps:

1. Wash the millet twice first, and then add some water to soak it for about half an hour.

2. Soak the lily five or six hours in advance and wash the red dates for later use. I used small red dates, so I cooked them directly. If it's big enough to cut into strips.

3. Scrape off the skin of yam and cut it into hob blocks, rinse off the mucus on the surface with clear water and soak it in water to prevent oxidation and discoloration.

Tips:

It is better to use iron bar yam for yam, which is more nutritious than ordinary yam, but if you are allergic to yam mucus, remember to wear gloves when handling yam to avoid itchy fingers. Brown sugar has the effect of enriching blood and benefiting qi, which is good for female friends, but if you don't like sweet porridge, you can omit it. The amount of ingredients is enough for a family of three to stutter. Please increase or decrease the amount of ingredients according to the actual situation.
